A few weeks ago my Sennheiser CX300-II broke, only one ear works. I got them online in a sale last year for €19 which was a steal, I saw them in shops a few weeks ago still at €50. There's no way in hell I'm paying €50 for them after previously getting them for €19.

So now I'm looking for new ones, I don't have a specific company in mind I just want ear buds with good bass that are not too expensive (€20-50) and I'll be using them on an iPod touch.

Also consider the Meelec M9's, I absolutely love mine. Excellent sound for the price of around $20 USD, dunno if you can get them to Ireland or not...but it might be worth looking into if they might ship them that way or have distribution over your direction.

All I can say is, these guys provide a solid sounding earphone with a solid build and plenty of extras you don't see in earphones at 2-3X the price. I run mine off a Sansa Fuze V2 w/Rockbox and couldn't be happier.

The Klipsch S4 are good but not amazing by any means. I think for the price they are alright but nothing unique or special like that CNET top 5 ranking states. For around the price you are willing to spend I would get the Head-Direct RE0s or Sunrise Xcape or MP4Nation Brainwavz M2 (if you want loads of bass). Those three in-ears are better than the Klipsch in-ears except for maybe guarantee.

I wasn't impressed with the reviews, the S2 are definitely out of the question, and the reviews for the S4 weren't great either. They weren't very enthusiastic about the sound quality. So far it still looks like I'll be getting the RE0 and FiiO L3.
